I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

As soon as the words were spoken, Amazon's first reaction was to the Executive Chairman's words, and it felt like something was wrong.

Step~

Step~

On the left and right, Narita Shirahito and Good Opera stood on either side of the Rudolph symbol with their arms folded, "Let's run another race."

"It's not like we haven't encountered fighting spirit or anything like that before."

Rudolph symbolizes: "..."

Her dignity was gone, and then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She could see a face with eye shadow in the corner of her eye, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"President, if you respect the game and your opponent, you should give it your all."

There was resentment in Qicao's tone and eyes.

Rudolph opened his mouth a few times, wanting to make some excuses, but...

She regained her usual calm demeanor and said, "Then let's have another race together."

Even though they had some complaints about Rudolph Symbol not using his fighting spirit on the Dream Cup, due to the president's authority for more than a decade, Narita Shirahito and the others would not put their arms around Rudolph Symbol's neck to ask questions like Amazon did with Barbatos.

As for the so-called "running another race", it was just an exercise of running side by side, and there was no real simulation race.

Although the simulation race is not like a formal competition, the huge consumption and burden on the body after opening the field are not enough for them to run another race with the president at this time.

They are more focused on preparing for the Winter Dream Cup in their hearts, which is their true peak state.

……

This is the last day of summer camp.

After finishing the simulation race with Rudolph, Barbatos, Nebula Sky and Minamisaka left Rigil's training base together.

Nanban followed behind the two of them and said with emotion, "This is the emperor."

Who would have thought that the horse girl who is already an absolute master in the horse racing world actually has a hidden fighting spirit that she has not used? As for the method of activating the fighting spirit, no trainer has mastered it yet, or the horse girls who have activated the fighting spirit in the past have not used it as a regular means of competition.

It is more like a state that cannot be deliberately expressed in words or taught, a competitive state that is like full power in the field but with almost no burden on the body.

"Xiaoba, don't put too much pressure on yourself in the Winter Dream Cup. You've done very well."

"Instead of pressure or anything like that, it should be more of excitement."

Barbatos's eyes flickered, a light in them. "At least the Emperor can reach that level. There's no reason why I can't do it. Even if I can't activate my fighting spirit, I can make up for it in other ways."

"I've only been in the industry for a year. With this year's Winter Dream Cup and tomorrow's Winter Dream Cup, I still have room for improvement, and she's almost at the point where I need to surpass her."

"I think the one who should be under more pressure is the president."

He raised his head, stretched out his palm, and spread his five fingers to block the scorching sun above his head. "Besides, when the real game comes, everyone will be guarding her. The game under such circumstances is different from the simulation game."

In addition to physical prowess, a normal race also requires consideration of factors such as your condition on the day, road conditions, running style, stamina, experience, and timing. Simply running fast isn't enough. "I can no longer run as I please, and I can't really give it my all. It's completely different from this simulation."

Of course, this does not exist when the hard power is too strong, just like the escape of Silent Suzuka when she participated in the competition, and the huge horse body she stretched out when she participated in the competition.

Barbatos seemed to have remembered something and looked at Nanban. "I'll leave the training plan for the Sprint Horse Championship and the information about my opponent to you."

Even though she had just had a simulation match with the Emperor, she was not going to underestimate her opponent in the next G1 event.

Chapter 338: Reform of the Competition Committee

Competition Committee.

There was almost no light in the conference room, and the curtains were completely drawn.

At the top of the conference table, the chairman's chin was supported by his white-gloved hands, and there was a slight reflection on his glasses.

On both sides of the conference table, the elderly council members in suits and ties stared at the top, confused as to why they were all summoned when summer camp had just ended and they had just returned from their vacation.

What was the last time they were all called together?

It’s Barbatos. Now that little girl is undoubtedly the strongest active player in Japan.

Facing the gazes of the parliamentarians, Chairman Ikari did not speak. The secretary standing behind him stepped forward and connected the laptop on the conference table to the projector.

A bunch of bar charts and data were presented to all the parliamentarians.

She began in a sweet voice, "Since Barbatos' debut last year, due to her personal reasons, many people overseas have started to pay attention to our Japanese Uma Musume. This has also pushed viewing figures and sales of various peripheral products to unprecedented peaks."

"The number of Barbatos' fans has now exceeded five million. According to department statistics, there are over three million Chinese users and nearly one million Chinese students studying abroad."

"It's not just Barbatos' fan base that has increased. The fan bases of other well-known active horse racing girls, as well as legendary horse racing girls, have all seen varying degrees of growth."

"Among them, the most significant increase was in the symbol of Emperor Rudolf."

"The fan base has exceeded 3 million, more than six times the initial number. The voting results show that the emperor possesses a beauty called strength."

"Also, Canopus..."

The female secretary was still talking about the horse racing lady whose subsequent fan base had increased dramatically, while the elderly council members below were already looking at each other in bewilderment.

They are old and don’t understand much about the things on the projectors. They are more familiar with the old way of holding meetings, but they know what these data represent.

In the past, anyone with a fan base of over 32 could participate in the Winter Dream Cup, and as long as Uma Musume herself agreed, she could receive the blessings of the three goddesses.

It can be said that those who participate in the Winter Dream Cup definitely have a fan base of more than 32, and are almost certainly legendary horse girls, or horse girls who will become legendary in the future.

In other words, the fan base of 32 can be said to be the ceiling of Uma Musume of their era.

But now, the impact of this number of fans has made them frown, feeling that their worldview as elderly people has been suddenly impacted, and this time it is almost all caused by Barbatos.

One of the thin old members spoke first in a low voice. He did not look at the female member, but looked at the chairman who came up first.

"So, you asked us to come here this time for the Winter Dream Cup, right?"

It's not a doubt, but a certainty. When Barbatos participated in the Winter Dream Cup last year, they had discussed changing the rules of the game after the Dream Cup so that the next Dream Cup would not have a situation like Barbatos'.

"If we let these fledglings participate in the Winter Dream Cup, it will undermine their confidence and they may never recover."

"Besides, the Dream Cup is sacred. It can't be the same as a regular event. The rules of this event must be changed!"

Upon hearing this, several members of parliament who had not yet understood the purpose of this meeting also expressed their dissent. In their hearts, the Winter Dream Cup was undoubtedly sacred and dreamy, allowing the top horse racing girls of each generation to compete on the same stage at their peak condition.

Last year there was only one Barbatos, but this year there are going to be several more active Uma Musume? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

That's not a contest on the same level at all!

"change?"

Chairman Ikari spoke up, a rare occurrence. "At the Takarazuka Kinen, when Barbatos and Silent Suzuka defeated Chi Trough, they showed everyone that the gap between active Uma Musume and legends is not unbridgeable."

"In essence, a legend is a horse girl, or one of the horse girls, standing at the top of a generational pyramid."

"The ratings and attention for the Winter Dream Cup in previous years were dismal. Everyone knew who the final champion would be, and who it could only be, because Rudolph was the undisputed winner."

"Even though Barbatos suffered a crushing defeat last year, it still attracted more attention. Now more people are looking forward to the Winter Dream Cup."

"Does the competition committee want to change the rules now?"

"Do you want fans to spontaneously rent large trucks and come to the gate of our race committee?"

If the fan response last year was not good, he would have changed the Dream Cup competition rules long ago and there would be no need to wait until now, but there is no doubt that all fans want to see the active legend.

Wanting to see the underdog defeat the stronger one has long been their tradition.

The lean old councilor fell silent upon hearing this, saying nothing more. He might have held onto traditional ideas, but he wasn't stubborn either. After a two-second silence, he continued, "So, Chairman Ikari summoned us here not just to show us this data, right?"

"Yes."

Chairman Ikari stood up from his chair, resting his white-gloved hands on the conference table. "The tournament has grown so much, and with this influx of overseas fans, it's time for us to make some changes."

"We want to retain these overseas audiences after Barbatos retires or becomes a legend."

reform?

The old parliamentarians looked solemn, but did not speak, waiting for the young chairman to speak. These old guys could no longer keep up with the times.

Chairman Ikari glanced down below, and seeing no objection, he sat down, continuing to maintain his aloof posture.

The female secretary nearby helped out, "In the past, our matches were broadcast live with a game announcer and a professional commentator. This was done to take into account the professionalism of live broadcasts."

"But we recently looked at commentary for other industry events and found a compromise by taking the best from the best and discarding the bad."

"For the G1 series of events, in addition to the two guests who will be playing the game and commentating, we will also have a special guest who will be a previous champion of the G1 event."

“We will use the G1 Sprint Championship in the second half of the year as a pilot.”

"The four candidates currently in the running are Qingzhu Huiyi, Nishinohua, Sakura Jinou, and Ling Shu."

"This will allow former G1 horse girls to be brought back to the public eye, potentially bringing back some viewers who haven't been following the race, and potentially attracting some lost viewers while also explaining the race from the perspective of the horse girls."

"They have no experience in commentary, so this aspect can give the audience a novel viewing experience."

Chapter 339 The Sprint Horse Racing Championship Begins!

"Nishino Hana, she's too weak. If she were to participate in the commentary as a celebrity... it wouldn't be very effective."

"Qingzhu Memories is not in Tresen at the moment and cannot provide an explanation."

"Then we have to choose between Sakura Shinou and Ryoshu."

"As the squad leader, Jin Wang's speech is closer to the official website. If it's a pilot project, Ling Shu is recommended to conduct it."

The old councillors discussed the matter in detail and finally decided on the legend to be selected for the Sprint Championship. Ling Shu, the horse girl of the Sprint Championship from two years ago, still has a certain number of fans, and given her personality, she would be a good choice as a legend commentator.

As for Sakura Shinou's class monitor, Tresen Academy is like a small society, and positions such as class monitor are like bureaucratic staff.

The speeches will naturally be more official.

Of course, if this situation is to happen after the legend system matures, it will be fine for Nishino Hana and Sakura Shinou to appear as legends. What is needed now is a cheerful and generous horse girl who can interact with the live broadcasters and provide joint commentary.

"Since the guest celebrities for the initial pilot have been confirmed and approved."

"Then there's the second aspect, the pre-race vlog. Our pre-race interviews are currently too monotonous, so we've already made some changes based on interviews from other races, and will be piloting this at the sprint championships."

"Pre-race interviews will no longer be shown before the race, but will be shown on the big screens inside the racecourse on race day."

"It's used to ignite the atmosphere and arouse the fighting spirit of the horse racing ladies."

The female secretary said, and seeing that the members below had no objections, she stopped talking. "That's the general content of today's meeting."

The corner of his eyes swept over the last item of paper in his hand, and project number three had been passed.

God-making Plan—The world focuses on you!

This was a project inspired by the League of Legends tournament, aiming to make a horse girl the benchmark and flag of the Japanese horse racing world. However, after being reviewed by Chairman Ikari, this project was not approved and was directly rejected. It was not even qualified to be presented at the meeting.

Unlike events like League of Legends, the Japanese horse racing world has its own emperor - Rudolph the symbol!

It's true that Barbatos is now in his heyday, but there is no hope of him surpassing the Emperor at the moment. The horse racing world does not need a Void God, who would only become a laughing stock after the Winter Dream Cup.

……

Late September.

Even though it was raining heavily, the auditorium at Zhongshan Racecourse was still packed.

The short-distance races, which usually receive less attention, have become more popular than ever before, and the live broadcasts of recorded short-distance races from the past have created an unprecedented grand occasion.

Fans who once loved Uma Musume, but now face the pressure of reality and have no time, have once again turned their attention to the G1 Sprint Championship held at the Zhongshan Racecourse.

After learning that the special guest, Ling Shu, would appear as commentator, they began to pay attention to the game again.

Especially since the pre-match interview that was supposed to be released has not been released yet, more people have become curious and are looking forward to this match, looking forward to the Big Tree Express vs. Barbatos, to see who can win the title of the current short-distance king.

The live broadcast interface of the live broadcast was changing from the recording of the previous game to the commentary seat.

What’s different from the past is that there is a horse racing girl in the commentary booth, that is Ling Shu, the winner of the short-distance championship from two years ago.

"Hello everyone in the audience and those watching before the live broadcast, I'm Misato Akasaka."

The green-haired live commentator greeted them. Next to her, the black-haired, intellectually beautiful commentator also introduced herself. "I'm Junko Hosoe. I'm sure the attentive viewers have noticed that we have a new commentator today. Ling Shu, come say hello to everyone."

Beside Junko Hosoe, the horse girl, whose head was obviously two heads taller than Junko Saijiang, waved generously towards the camera. "Hello everyone, I'm Ling Shu. Does anyone remember me?"

Seeing such a powerful Lingshu, the audience who had never seen Lingshu's game before exclaimed "Wow".

The audience who came from Lingshu's generation couldn't help but reminisce about the times when they watched the game with their friends and partners, and they all typed in the comments of the live broadcast room, "How much heavier has Lingshu gained this time?"

This should be a girl's secret, a question that shouldn't be asked, but Ling Shu, sitting in the commentary booth, smiled brightly and didn't hide it. "Well, since the last time you asked me, I've only gained 10 pounds."

This question was asked when she was still active in the military, and gradually it became a question that all her fans would ask. Ling Shu also went from being concerned about it at the beginning to caring about it.

At first, she cared about her body shape, but now she cares about whether someone still remembers her even though she has retired.
